DevSamurai
Well suited:
  • Estimation of user stories in agile team.
  • Recording the estimations and events directly to JIRA.
  • Estimations can be done without leaving JIRA.
  • Best suitable in this pandemic situation as most of the people are working remotely.
  • Different estimation scales are present to adapt as per the team norms for example Fibonacci, T-shirt sizing and custom estimations as well.
Scenarios where it is less suitable:
  • Where only inbuilt chat box from DevSamurai is used. So synchronization is an issue there.
  • And apart from that a consistent internet connectivity is required.

GitLab
GitLab is good if you work a lot with code and do complex repository actions. It gives you a very good overview of what were the states of your branches and the files in them at different stages in time. It's also way easier and more efficient to write pipelines for CI\CD. It's easier to read and it's easier to write them. It takes fewer clicks to achieve the same things with GitLab than it does for competitor products.

Cons
DevSamurai
  • Live chat box feature need to be improvised as it still not robust.
  • Integration module should be flexible enough to stick with other workflow tools.

  • CI variables management is sometimes hard to use, for example, with File type variables. The scope of each variable is also hard to guess.
  • Access Token: there are too many types (Personal, Project, global..), and it is hard to identify the scope and where it comes from once created.
  • Runners: auto-scaled runners are for the moment hard to put in place, and monitoring is not easy.

Gitlab is the best in its segment. They have a free version, they have open-source software, they provide a good service with their SaaS product, they are a fully-remote company since the beginning (which means they are fully distributed and have forward-thinking IMO). I would certainly recommend them to everyone.

I find it easy to use, I haven't had to do the integration work, so that's why it is a 9/10, cause I can't speak to how easy that part was or the initial set up, but day to day use is great!

At this point, I do not have much experience with Gitlab support as I have never had to engage them. They have documentation that is helpful, not quite as extensive as other documentation, but helpful nonetheless. They also seem to be relatively responsive on social media platforms (twitter) and really thrived when GitHub was acquired by Microsoft

GitLab
Gitlab seems more cutting-edge than GitHub; however, its AI tools are not yet as mature as those of CoPilot. It feels like the next-generation product, so as we selected a tool for our startup, we decided to invest in the disruptor in the space. While there are fewer out-of-the-box templates for Gitlab, we have never discovered a lack of feature parity.

Return on Investment
DevSamurai
  • Estimation of user stories and updating the JIRA is automated and hence resulted in reduced efforts in poker planning.
  • No need to be present under same roof for estimation, and hence a flexibility which is much required in this scenario.
  • Clients can have a clear and better picture of estimation at any time with all statistics and hence customer sees more transparency.
